DCI detectives are looking into a botched robbery that saw one person shot in Eastleigh’s 14th Street.
Two armed men are caught on tape shooting at a man on Tuesday before taking off on boda bodas.
The victim, a man in a black jacket and beige trousers was watching as the gunmen got away from the scene of crime.
Innocent bystanders scampered for safety as others watched the two get away.
“Robbers shot someone in a botched robbery in Eastleigh 14th street. These guys must be brought to book,” Ahmed Mohamed tweeted.
